The jury looks for quality art by practising artists who show a dedication to perfecting their craft and have a studio able to accommodate the tour. Included in the tour is a wide range of media, from the traditional to the unusual. This year you will find excellent examples of drawing, painting, glass & fibre art, ceramics, sculpture, and woodworking.


Friday, April 12th is opening night. Between the hours of 7 and 9:30 p.m., you will be treated to refreshments and have first choice of artists' works. Studios will remain open Saturday, April 13th from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, April 14th from noon to 5 p.m.
